From my doctor: If you aren't body building - it's best to get the majority of your protein from animal proteins. The protein powders that say "40 grams of protein" -- your body cannot metabolize that much protein at one time -- therefore your body uses what it can from it and discards the rest -- kind of a waste when you…

I certainly agree that speaking to a counselor may help your body image. I certainly understand about body image!!!! I hope this comment doesn't offend anyone!!! I used to think that I must be like a "reverse anorexic" -- people with anorexia look in the mirror and believe they look fat - and they are usually skin and…

Welcome!! Hey... ANY reason is a good reason to start making yourself look and feel better!!! I started at 218 pounds last year and I am down about 65 pounds! (Since my husband returned from his military deployment, I seem to keep gaining and losing the same 5 pounds!) I wanted to get out of my size 20W clothes and…

Be careful with your knees. There's a lot of twisting hips to the side and depending on the floor surface, wearing regular tennis/cross trainer/gym shoes can grip and you turn your body but your foot stays planted - causes some knee pain. If you like the class, then you do what I did and buy "dance fitness" shoes - which…

I have kept a size 20W jeans --- just to put on for those days I feel defeated, or days when I make bad food choices... It let's me know I've come too far to sabotage myself - like I always did in the past if I had a bad food day!! :flowerforyou:

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!! Thank you all for the kind words... I told my husband after he left that I really wanted to lose weight, but when the scale actually started moving, I did NOT tell him that the weight was actually coming off. When we would talk on Skype I would wear big Tshirts or sweatshirts - and since the video…

Thanks!! It feels good seeing the pounds and inches start getting smaller doesn't it?

AWESOME!!! Keep up the fantastic work!!!

I understand completely, didn't make sense to me either... Cause you do have to have a calorie deficit to lose weight... I went from eating about 3,000 - 4,000 calories a DAY (eek!!!) DOWN to 1,200 calories a day... So that's a huge deficit... While my hubby was in Iraq from 2010 to 2011, I went from 218 pounds down to 153…

I was put on 1200 calories by my weight loss doc, and I was doing zumba 3 days a week burning roughly 600 calories.. I would eat my 1200 calories, and burn off 600 calories == I have only eaten 600 calories for the day (because I just burned off 600). I put the 600 cals burned into my calorie counter and it said I have 600…
